You'll need to know:

Budget Information:

The design, writing and editing services of MarCom are available free of charge.

The only cost is printing – client decides quantity and sets budget.

MarCom will need to charge for writing, design and/or project coordination services if the project content is not received within the specified timeframe.

Charges may be incurred for specialized photos needs.

2. Gather necessary content within specified timeframe

Before we can get started on your job, you’ll need to gather all specifications and content such as logos, text, photos and interview contacts.

Project timelines:

The following is a guide for the amount of time required to deliver various projects. The earlier MarCom is aware of your project needs, the better the outcome. MarCom requires rough content for your project by this time (or earlier) in order to deliver the project by your deadline. Please note that several factors are built into these timeframes:

Time to get to your project on our project log

Coordinating and shooting photography

Writing and editing content

Design time

Exchange of proofs and editing

Printing

Allow a minimum of six weeks* for delivery of:

Standard brochure

Poster/flyer

Advertisement

Newsletter

Postcard mailer

Web page design

E-mail design/distribution

Allow a minimum of 10 weeks* for delivery of:

Booklet brochure

Advertising/marketing campaign

*Note that these timeframes may change according to project specifications such as photography needs, die cuts, binding, etc.

If MarCom does not receive content within the specified timeframe, we will still gladly facilitate completion of your project. However, we will need to utilize outside vendors and/or other resources that will require costs to be passed on to our clients.

3. Meet with your project team

A project team will be assigned to you that includes a project manager, designer and writer. If the project involves creating largely new content, you will likely meet with this team shortly after contacting Shelley Stickelmeyer.
